RFL regulations are not legally binding, however as it's their competition so if you want to play in it you comply as best you can, but technically they have no power whatsoever to fine anyone or to collect that fine.
It's all very much a gentleman agreement.
Failure to adhere to the governing bodies articles is a breach of membership, so yes, you can refuse to pay a sanction, but in doing so you also forfeit your membership, and are no longer affiliated to the Rugby Football League. That means bye bye.
It's also a condition of membership that a member cannot take legal action against the RFL. In practice a member CAN take legal action, but forfeit membership by doing so, with no right to re-instatement. That means bye bye also.
